Switching Programme Design Authority

The Design Authority (DA) owns the design baseline for the Switching Programme. It makes decisions on the design of the new switching arrangements that, in total, will formulate the design baseline. The DA consists of senior representatives in Ofgem from all of the policy areas that are affected by the Switching Programme.

We will consult on the design baseline for the programme towards the end of the blueprint phase.
